Oil absorbent for the driveway / garage having gotten rid of the 94 Taurus SHO that had horrible oil leaks (cam shaft & rear engine oil seals)Also don't need the filter mask to help survive the plume of smoke from the oil dripping on the hot manifold which was especially bad when stopped in traffic.

I was showing a friend the fake valve cover under the hood, and he suggested the purpose must be so you could have some fun with the guys at Jiffy Lube. I was a little tempted to take it in for an oil change just to watch. But I'm afraid they'd bring out an old oil pump to show me, and tell me it needs to be replaced for $300.
